Champion's Club  cards are another missed opportunity, I paid for mine months ago and every year I have to make a call about them.

ok rudy.

All-state basketball player and placed at the state meet in the long and triple jump. Not sure what there is to argue in his height or athletic ability. He knows the routes, so if he can catch and block, I don't see why he wouldn't be out there.

just saying that seeing guys like brad and bryce blair on the two deep 5 years into bubba' regime is something i'm concerned about.

Why don’t you see him play before jumping to conclusions?

Didn’t realize he was on the two deep at QB.

He isn't fast enough.  If they need somebody to fill in and block I guess.

I highly doubt he’s any slower than Toivonen.

What’s the ideal weight for a nosegaurd? I thought it should be closer to 310-315??

our backup is 250??

Depends on the guy. I think Tank played too heavy last year and guessing the staff did too since he lost a few pounds in the offseason.

Speed is a fair concern, but he isn't going to be running deep routes. Plenty fast enough to run short and intermediate routes and be a possession type receiver.

we have enough "possession" receivers...we need more guys like clive!!!!!!!

[SIOUXFAN97]

part of keaton's regresion was that we had no one at wr that could seperate from cb's after clive got hurt...all "possession" receivers....

Tank actually played too light last year. He had lost weight and was quicker but was also on skates most of the year and incapable of plugging things up like he did the year before. He’s actually up on weight this year.

You're right on the first part, he was down 10lbs. Not sure who or what I was thinking about. But it looks like they have him down another 3 pounds from last year.

UND needs all the big bodies up the middle they can get after last season. Would like to see heavier nose tackles. Tank Harris is by far the best on the roster but still under 300 lbs. and the backup situation is grossly underweight.

The overhaul at inside backer will definitely help this season, though. Can’t afford even one or two injures at that spot however.

It was one last screw job

 

big time missed opportunity for two big attendance games of the year potato bowl and homecoming

I heard he was WAY down on his weight last year. Like 20 some pounds.

Here is a bit more on UND's first opponent, the Delta Devils of MVSU.

Thank goodness we now have a freshman nose guard at 250 to save the day.  Instead of a 3 year letterman at 310!  Give me a freakin break!

If you demand average Greer is still available.

Obviously weight isn’t everything. Morrison  (the 250 lb student-athlete you referenced) is tremendously athletic (played RB in high school). If he continues to put weight and strength on the right way, watch out. Will be fun to see how he looks this season. Like @gundy1124 said, Greer is also available for depth. Nice to be able to go 3-deep at nose.

[GoHawks]

Is it surprising not seeing Ev Williams on the 2 deep?

Ya, total athlete that you don't get from the other guys.  Look for Morrison on passing situations and he'll be tagged to pressure the QB or lay back for an RB on a screen.  I am not sure how UND plays it but normally if you see a guy that isn't pass rushing with full effort it's because he's assigned to smoother any offensive player lingering for a screen pass.

Tank and Greer - plug the middle - stop the run - put the O in 3rd and long - bring in Morrison. 

Also, with depth charts, if a player isn't happy with where he is at, it's up to the player to change that. (Greer/Ev Williams/many other guys)  So, although a good initial look, I wouldn't put too much into the 1st depth chart.
